tv   The O Reilly Factor  FOX News  June 23, 2012 1:00am-2:00am PDT

1:00 am
good night from new york city. opinion and analysis kicks off now. >> bill: the o'reilly factor is on. tonight. >> contempt of congress, contempt of congress, to frivolously use that really important vehicle to undermine the person who is assigned to stop the voter suppression in our country. >> i could not believe it when i heard her saying that. >> shepard: animosity growing in congress over the investigation of attorney general holder holder is it preliminary or is justice in play. we will tell you. i don't mean to to start too much forest fire here. is this ethnic mr. mayor. >> i think it has some ethnic toward. >> the race card once again being played to defend eric
1:01 am
holder it is coordinated effort on the part of left. we'll take a hard look at that. >> if this is the right thing to do for the american people? i didn't -- i didn't ask for an argument. i'm answering your question. >> bill: also tonight, body language takes a look at president obama confronting a heckler and the putin obama meeting in mexico. >> bill: caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. >> bill: hi, i'm bill o'reilly, thanks for watching us tonight. how the left is orchestrating fast and furious. that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. first of all, the story is all about the family of brian terry. the border patrol agent killed by a gun lost by the feds in the fast and furious gun scandal. mr. terry's parents want to know what happened. and they have a right to know that. if it were your son or daughter killed in a
1:02 am
government screwup, you would want to know all the details as well. again, mr. and mrs. terry have a right to know the entire story as to how their son was killed. but the obama administration doesn't want to explain the situation. that's how simple the story really is terry's want to know. the president doesn't want to tell them. that's it. and so we now have a huge controversy. accelerating that is nancy pelosi who says that eric holder is being persecuted because he wants fairness for minority voters. >> contempt of congress. contempt of congress to frivolously use that really important vehicle to undermine the person who is assigned to stop the voter suppression in our country, i'm telling you, this is connected. it is no accident. it is a decision and it is as
1:03 am
clear as can be. it's not only to monday monopole his time, it's to undermine his name. >> i could not believe it when i heard her saying that. is that all you have to come back with? is that the best you can come up with is that we got together in this grand scheme to suppress votes and -- i'm sure she didn't say southern states, but that's what she meant. >> shepard: now, the defense of holder by the left is an organized effort. the merits of mr. holder's argument to not release documents are not being argued. now it's about his skin color. >> here is is a chance to humiliate a distinguished member of the united states government the attorney general. everyone knows a close friend of the president's. it's a surrogate operation. i don't want to start too much forest fire here but it is my instinct. is this ethnic, mr. mayor. >> i think it has some ethnic flavor to it. it will be interpreted by some in that vein. >> talking points has lamented
1:04 am
playing the race car many times. it's simply wrong. most of the people doing it know it's wrong. but they do it anyway because they're desperate. the bottom line is this. attorney general eric holder has an obligation to explain to the parents of brian terry and to the american people how the gun sting got screwed up. and the president has an obligation to see that holder does that. if mr. obama and mr. holder continue to stonewall, then congress should take every step to combat that and that's the memo. now for the top story tonight. reaction from two democrats with us here in new york john who worked for president obama's campaign in 2008. from washington, fox news analyst kirsten powers. what did you think of the nancy pelosi argument, kirsten >> it actually sounds very desperate to me. i don't think there is any connection between that and this investigation. and i have been on the record saying that i think the investigation is a fishing expedition. so i'm not necessarily disagreeing with that. but i don't think that there
1:05 am
is some plot behind it to, you know, to keep him from working on stopping voter suppression for the obvious reason that he doesn't do the day-to-day on that. i mean, there is, you know, people in the department who work for him who handle that. >> bill: you are discounting that pelosi argument. do you discount it? yes or no? do you discount it or not? come on. >> i would not. >> bill: two for two. both democrats discount the argument. kirsten, i'm back to you. fishing expedition. >> yeah. >> do you believe the parents, of brian terry have a right to know what happened in the case. >> yeah. absolutely. >> bill: wait, kirsten, we are going to walk through this very patiently. >> all right. >> you believe they have a right to know what happened, correct? >> sure, yeah. >> so the oversight committee is trying to get all the documents it can to define clearly what happened for those parents. >> yeah. i don't think that's what they're doing. >> bill: all right.
1:06 am
wait. then very specifically, very specifically, what is the congressional committee doing that's not advancing that exposition? >> there is no question that this was a bad program, that it was a tragedy that he died. >> bill: no, stay specific with me. >> i am being specific. >> bill: fishing expedition and then you said you want to know what happened and you sympathize with the terry's. >> right. because i'm trying to tell you what matters here is that we know there was a bad program and the program was stopped and there was incompetence that led to this person's death that is not intentional. >> bill: we don't know who designed the program who executed the program. we don't know how high whether holder okayed it and some people believe president obama knew about it. >> that's so speculative though what you just said. some people. >> bill: we want to clear it up. >> obama did some people? what does that mean? there is no evidence that the president knew about it. >> bill: that's correct. >> i just want to play this out with you. even if that was the case, and that's what i'm talking about.
1:07 am
if they have disavowed the program and stopped it, so what are we really talking about here? >> bill: who did it and how it happened so it doesn't happen again. >> he already said who did it that it was run by the atf to stop the program. >> bill: wait. so you believe holder's face value. >> yeah. >> bill: okay. then have him release the documents to back up what he is saying. >> i have no problem with him releasing the documents. >> bill: that's what it is all about. >> but i'm saying they are on a fishing expedition. >> bill: you can't say that unless he releases the documents and he won't. >> no. >> bill: okay, mr. he had -- helinka. powers says she believes what holder says some under ling did it and he didn't have anything to do with it the congress says, very reasonably in my opinion, okay, let's just see the time line, give us the documents to back up what you are saying and he won't. doesn't sound reasonable to me. does not sound reasonable. >> remember he has come down there for fine times to testify. >> bill: he should have come down once and given them everything they asked for. >> if you are investigating
1:08 am
arson you look for who lit the match. this was started during the bush administration. why isn't issa getting information from bush. >> bill: wait there is a paper trail that exists within the department of justice. just hand it over. >> is he getting nobody from the bush administration? >> bill: no, no, no. no bush administration. just this. brian terry. no bush administration. just give me the documents on brian terry. >> but we want to know what led to that. >> bill: fine. we will do that later. we'll do that later. this is the urgency right now. >> it is clear lay political witch-hunt otherwise issa. give him credit. if issa had gone and said we are going to investigate the bush administration and the obama administration i would support him. >> exactly. >> bill: wait a minute. why introduce anything other than this situation? just tell the parents what happened to their son. >> look, i have got a brother in law enforcement. if that happened to him you better believe i would want to know the story. >> bill: of course. >> but the story starts in the
1:09 am
bush administration. when you say who started this. >> bill: this is insane. it doesn't matter who started it just deal with this case. you do that later. deal with this we can't walk and chew gum at the same time? why can't we do both. >> bill: all right. fine, do both. hand over all the documents. >> if we can investigate the bush administration as well, yeah. >> bill: let powers have the last word, go. n it sounds like you are only interested in finding out that eric holder did something wrong. >> bill: i don't care who did anything wrong. if what holder says is true. >> it should cover everything. >> bill: that's an unfair accusation against me. if holder -- if what holder told congress is true, fine. release the documents and back it up. that's all. both of you guys say and this is exactly what happened when you watch the program tonight because we are taping ahead, you are torturing, torturing a very simple situation. release the documents to back
1:10 am
up what you are saying. >> have issa political witch-hunt. >> bill: no. the court of public opinion will take care of that. >> our disagreement is whether it's a fishing expedition. >> bill: all right. okay. thank you, guys. next on the run down, geraldo rivera will respond to the race card being played and also discuss the university of minnesota financing an antiwhite advertisement. and then god help us. americans drifting away from belief in the deity. we have the latest polling in just a few moments. to get people to try on these new depend silhouette briefs, and today we are rocking the red carpet. look it's lisa rinna! lisa hiii,i know you don't need one but will you try on these new depend silhouette briefs for charity and prove just how great the fit is even under a fantastic dress? are you serious? i am serious... sure why not! she's doing it! the best protection now looks, fits and feels just like underwear. hey lisa, who ya wearing?
1:11 am
she's wearing the new depend silhouette. (growl) we invite you to get a free sample and try one on too.
1:12 am
1:13 am
voter suppression. insane? >> probably. >> okay. >> bill: that's all you need to say. >> but you have to add that, remember, it was not the attorney general who said it and it was not the president of the united states who said it. it was nancy pelosi who said it, the exspeaker of the house. or reverend al sharpton. >> bill: just for the record, herald probably -- geraldo,
1:14 am
probably insane. a stretch. number two. >> bill: i like probably insane better. race card? issue isn't relevant. holder didn't do anything wrong. they are after him because is he black. insane? >> it is hard to avoid the optics, bill. you know. >> bill: what optics? >> the optics of the first black attorney general. >> bill: you are saying that's a valid arguement in this case. >> first black attorney general in the united states. i said optics being questioned by 22 white guys and one southern woman, 23 people. and. >> bill: you are buying into this. >> citing in for contempt of congress for the first time in history. >> bill: you buy into this. >> it is bad pr i think. >> bill: that's a dodge. is there any have validity. >> that's a different question. you didn't ask me that. >> bill: now is he being a little slimy lawyer here. >> not slimy, accurate. >> bill: is there any validity to the charge that trying to get information for the terry family is race-driven?
1:15 am
>> no. >> bill: thank you. >> thank you, geraldo. okay. two down. now. >> is the race card being played, bill? >> bill: i'm used to it? >> you have to get more used to it. >> bill: you have a situation here where the incumbent president, the first african-american president leads among asian americans. >> bill: we know what the item -- item graphs are. >> john f. kennedy led among catholics and irish americans, it's natural. all right? but when it bleeds over into legitimate issues like finding out what happened so the terry family knows why their son died, then we have to draw the line. okay. i think that's it. that's where i'm going to go on that with you. now, university of minnesota. >> don't you want to conclude?
1:16 am
what's your concluding statement. >> my concluding statement is holder should turn over the documents so the terry family knows what happened to their son you don't disagree with that. >> i don't disagree -- >> bill: thank you, geraldo rivera. >> tough prosecutor in the cross-examination. >> bill: you bet i am. university of minnesota. >> you are in a bad mood because it's so hot in new york. >> luck. >> it's not luck. it's privilege. we're privileged that people see us not a color. >> privileged that we don't get stared at when we walk in the room. >> privileged that we don't get followed by security when we go shopping. >> or pulled over when we are in the wrong neighborhood. >> we're privileged because society was set up for us. and our silence keeps t in place. >> we're privileged and that's unfair. >> bill: why is the university of minnesota running a thing about white privilege? >> well, i think they make -- the psa makes a point that is
1:17 am
a valid point. in the same way that the berkeley students who had bake sales and they charged white students twice as much as black students to make the point that affirmative action was wrong and inherently unfair. i think they both have a point to make. unfortunately. >> bill: explain the point as you see t of this video at the university of minnesota. what is the point? >> you know. i'm the head of did diversity. co-chair of diversity of my kid's school. i said to them when talking about privilege when i'm with bill o'reilly and someone mentions white privilege his head is going to blow up. white privilege exists. people are not being stopped and frisked at nearly the rate and all the rest of the problems that come with being black in america or being brown in america. those are realities. what is unfortunate, bill, on both the berkeley example and this university of minnesota at duluth example is they are exacerbating a situation with no real benefit. who is going to watch this psa
1:18 am
and suddenly say ah-ha, i never thought that white people, you know have a leg up on black people in this country. i think all it does is aggravate a situation. it's not very helpful. nor was the cake sale, the bake sale very helpful. i think that people who kind of rub salt in what is really the most pressing domestic issue, i still believe that the economy is certainly but the social logically race is still a very big deal in this country. >> bill: that's a very very good analysis. i have always said and written in my books it is much more difficult to be a black person in america, an asian, an hispanic than it is white. i think that is the truth. but, as you said, to try to foster hatred or resentment is wrong and anti-american. now, i have got to go. so you can't say anything else. >> yankees. >> bill: two out of three. all right? two out of three, geraldo rivera. >> don't walk around in the
1:19 am
bronx. >> bill: you need to trim that mustache. if it gets any longer we need another studio. new polling shows americans may be drifting away from the belief in god. body language on the president being interrupted and putin disrespecting mr. obama. we're coming right back.
1:20 am
1:21 am
1:22 am
>> bill: impact segment tonight, have you ever doubted the existence of god? that question was asked by the pew research center. the result 60% of americans under the age of 30 they have never doubted the existence of god but 31% have. for the u.s.a., that's a big number. among americans 65 years or older, just 9% have doubted the existence of a deity while 89% are people of faith across the board. >> so you can see secularism is taking a hold among younger
1:23 am
americans. joining us from washington fields from the daily caller and fox news analyst leslie marshall. leslie, i predicted this would happen in my book culture warrior. young people are not getting the same message. that's important. same message from society that older americans once got. am i wrong? >> actually, i agree with you, bill. because society is comprised of our parents and our families as well. and although i think it's sad, i do think that people in america are not taking as much time out for god, taking as much time to teach their kids about god and, quite frankly, instead of going to midnight mass on christmas eve, they are at best buy trying to get the latest electronic device so i do think that plays a big part. >> bill: in a catholic church i'm a catholic as you must know. 24% now going to mass on a weekly basis. very, very low. and nothing like it was even 15 years ago. but there is a more -- the public schools have a lot to do with this, i think.
1:24 am
where spirit has been totally wiped out at the curriculum of all american public schools. can you can't talk about anything sphirl at all or church and stayed and this, that and the other thing they are -- -- fainting, throwing up. design the school application and of course you have secularism and that's what we are seeing, right? >> i think it's important to note that this poll doesn't say that young people are disbelieving god but that they are more skeptical of him. >> bill: that's where it begins. >> that's no surprise though. if you talk to any young person they will tell you being a christian or believing in god there is a social stigma attached to it. >> bill: why is there a social stigma. >> you go to universities and professors are telling their students that people who believe in god, christians are republic. and they are the ones who don't believe in science, are destroying the planet. they treat homosexuals as lesser beings, that has an effect.
1:25 am
all of this misinformation has an effect on kids. >> bill: would you say michelle that's indoctrination or is that just a secular argument overwhelming the traditional religious argument? >> it's indoctrination because it's misinformation. that's not true. we see this in television and in films such as juneau or saved. we're always -- every time there is a religious character, they are always the idiot. they are always the uncool one. >> bill: no longer bing crosby's father, whatever his name was in the bells of st. mary's the greatest guy. do you agree with that leslie? do you agree that's indoctrination or secular argument more powerful to the rationale mind? >> no. i don't agree with michelle there. you know, one of the things i think we are seeing more kids go to college. we have so much information out there and i think, bill, it's more accepted and less taboo these days to question the existence of god and to have such questions and there is so many sources and resources not only online but in books, et cetera, i think i even know for myself i have
1:26 am
read a lot of these things and asked a lot of questions i wouldn't dare do in college. i wouldn't dare have spoken to my parents years ago. >> bill: i was in college and i asked questions all the time in my theology courses and challenged the prevailing wisdom. it comes down to a belief system. you're not going to prove or disprove any kind of a deity situation in a classroom. >> correct. >> bill: or on a program. you are not. >> correct. >> bill: you either believe or you don't. it is apparent younger americans, michelle, are going away from the belief system as this is exactly what happened in europe. exactly what happened. little by little they started to go away. and now, even in countries like italy and france which used to be very religious countries not anymore. i think that might happen. >> bill: dawkins. i kicked his butt all over the place. he didn't have -- he admitted it to his credit.
1:27 am
he could not -- he could not make his case that the earth was formed in a natural way without any kind of divine intervention. he could not do it. all right? and this is supposed to be the brainiac of the secular forces. so, we're glad we did that all right, leslie, i'm giving you the last word. you are not a pagan, are you, leslie? >>. no i believe in god. just doing, this bill, what the human body has to do is pretty miraculous. >> bill: thank you. i'm not mocking you, that's right. if you look at our bodies and look at every human being has a talent, even the dimmest of us right here has a talent, all right? it's not random. it just couldn't happen. ladies, very interesting. thank you. >> my mother will be thrilled with that tonight. >> bill: plenty more ahead as the factor moves along this evening. body language on the president rudely being interrupted and president obama being disrespected by the russian leader putin.
1:28 am
lou dobbs on whether the economy will perk up just in time to help president obama. hope you stay tuned to those reports.
1:29 am
1:30 am
1:31 am
>> bill: body language segment tonight, three hot topics president obama being interrupted by neil monroe of the daily caller. >> it is the right thing to do! >> excuse me, sir, it's not time for questions, sir. [shouting] >> not while i'm speaking. and the answer to your question, sir, and the next time i prefer you let me finish my statements before you ask that question is this is the right thing to do for the american people -- i didn't ask for an argument. i'm answering your question. >> shouting. >> it is the right thing to do for the american people and here's why. >> bill: this is personal to me because i do the finger thing all the time as you know. i get the finger up a lot. i get the mail what does the
1:32 am
finger mean? >> the finger is very aggressive. when you do it, what you are doing is being overly aggressive. >> bill: wait. overly aggressive? >> yeah. what you are doing is dominating that person. >> bill: well, maybe the person needs to be dominated. >> you are right there. is a time and a place for everything. this is not typical obama. normally he does the politician point. >> bill: he does two things well, three things. he does the one finger, he does the five fingers. >> that's the chop. >> what's the chop mean. >> once he goes from the finger he tries to now change up and goes to a chop which is to be emphatic without being overly aggressive. >> bill: one finger is overly aggressive. the chop is emphatic but not overly aggressive. >> that's right. >> bill: three fingers. >> three fingers now he is making. >> bill: now is he confused. >> here is the interesting thing he does at the end of this piece he changes hands and he starts pointing now. >> bill: one hand is tired. [ laughter ] >> actually, no what he is trying to do is reanchor the conversation and take it in a different direction. >> bill: when you switch hands you are trying to get away what you are doing to
1:33 am
something else. >> anger in one hand and close out discussion with the other hand. >> bill: one finger angry. i'm not angry sometimes i'm trying to make my point i don't think i'm over l.a. aggressive but i didn't think atila was, i thought he was moderately aggressive. >> here is the difference though. it's not what you are feeling. it's how the recipient was feeling. >> bill: i don't care how the recipient is feeling and there you go. [ laughter ] here is obama and putin. >> thank you very much, mr. president we in fact, did have a candid, thoughtful, and thorough conversation on a whole range of bilateral and international issues. >> bill: my question is, this putin is sitting on a nail. >> yes, oh my goodness. >> bill: sitting on a nail. that is the worst body language i have ever seen. >> it was terrible. so he is sitting back, is he gripping on to his chair, is he not even oriented toward the president. look how his chin is tucked down. >> bill: he hates him.
1:34 am
>> what's really great is obama goes and pretends. >> bill: he is not even acknowledging it? >> he looks at his chest. i swear to god. you know what? come back on me with the camera. the only finger only aggressive. i would take five fingers and slapped him if he slowched like that in my presence, putin. >> there was such a disconnect. if you look at obama he has his elbow out like trying to be territorial. >> bill: wanted to elbow him in the head but he didn't do it? >> look how he looks away. >> bill: i know. it's so disrespectful. >> i have nothing to say. >> bill: rielle hunter we don't like her but we have to use this clip. governmental what do you think the reaction is when the woman who is sleeping with the husband starts talking about the wife, who is now dead from cancer? >> there are a lot of people that go wow, i understand, i get it. a lot of people would be outraged. and i feel for both my
1:35 am
daughter and for all the kids involved. the full truth needs to be in the public domain, their father is not a demon and their mother is not a saint and i'm not a home wrecker. we are real human beings and there is a real dynamic that was going on, good and bad, and we all made mistakes. >> bill: i'm going to step back here because i just loathe her. >> three divik points. she starts off very small. her shoulders are hunched and legs are crossed and hands in her lap. she is feeling slightly insecure. when she says i feel for my daughter and the kids involved. her voice inflection goes up which tells me she is definitely feeling insecure. then the last piece is when she reaches out to cuomo. you will see her hands go out like this. that's her pleading to please, understand me. side with me for a little bit. >> bill: tonya reiman, everyone. thank you. >> thank you. >> bill: i'm not going to put that -- lou dobbs on whether the economy will get better later this year giving the president a boost. and then dumbest things of the
1:36 am
week under discussion this evening. carl rove, crosby stills and surfing dogs moments away. ( bell rings ) they remind me so much of my grandkids. wish i saw mine more often, but they live so far away. i've been thinking about moving in with my daughter and her family. it's been pretty tough since jack passed away. it's a good thing you had life insurance through the colonial penn program. you're right. it was affordable, and we were guaranteed acceptance. guaranteed acceptance? it means you can't be turned down because of your health. you don't have to take a physical or answer any health questions. they don't care about your aches and pains. well, how do you know? did you speak to alex trebek? because i have a policy myself. it costs just $9.95 a month per unit. it's perfect for my budget. my rate will never go up. and my coverage will never go down because of my age.
1:37 am
affordable coverage and guaranteed acceptance? we should give them a call. do you want to help protect your loved ones from the burden of final expenses? if you're between 50 and 85, you can get quality insurance that does not require any health questions or a medical exam. your rate of $9.95 a month per unit will never increase, and your coverage will never decrease -- that's guaranteed. so join the six million people who have already called about this insurance. whether you're getting new insurance or supplementing what you already have, call now and ask one of their representatives about a plan that meets your needs. so, what are you waiting for? go call now! we'll finish up here.
1:38 am
1:39 am
>> bill: thanks for staying with us. bill o'reilly in lowe's the boss segment. another rough week for the stock market as five huge american banks have their credit ratings downgraded. why should we care? how does that effect you and me. here now fox business anchor lou dobbs his program is beating the competition on cnbc which has many more subscribers so congratulations to lou dobbs. i don't know if people understand you have maybe, what, 60% of what cnbc has? >> right. >> bill: you are beating them at the 7:00 hour. that's pretty good. >> thank you very much. i appreciate it. >> bill: you are welcome. why should i care about banks being downgraded. >> only to the extent there is a bit of a barometer, an
1:40 am
indicator that the economy is having some problems that they are not doing as well as they otherwise might. but in the -- at the end of the day, it's not something for a depositor or someone taking out a loan to worry about. investors need to pay attention to it because it does effect the cost of money to those banks but only at the margin. >> bill: those banks will have to pay more to get money in or something like that. >> that's right. it's suggests that they are riskier when things are riskier. you have to pay more for the privilege. that's exactly what's going on. >> bill: are these banks being mismanaged, badly run? is that why they are downgraded. >> the great irony here is bill these banks are better managed today than they were. >> bill: why are they being downgraded. >> he they are ratings agencies. they are trying to catch up with what they missed four years ago. in part that's exactly what it is. >> bill: it really doesn't matter. it's just a paper thing. >> this is just a paper thing. it's also at the margin. when we are talking about economic growth it's slowing to 2%.
1:41 am
when we are talking about 25 million people out of work or under employed. we have much bigger problems than. this of course we do. that's the next question i want to ask you. i'm going to ask you one more. william did do you vein he duvae he has the horse. maybe i should buy gold, hoard some gold and put in a vault some place. you say. >> i say listen to duvane he said it was about property. now he is buying gold. >> get into the property deal so you can have a nice horse. gold is not something that i invest. in i believe that there are other more -- >> bill: you have confidence. lou dobbs, the guy who is beating cnbc. do you, lou dobbs, believe that we are okay, our currency is all right, our financial structure is okay at this moment? >> okay is a great word for it. >> bill: all right. if it turns worse, you have got to come back on and tell us. >> i know that.
1:42 am
>> counting on you to be paul revere here. >> i'm trying to fulfill that onerous duty. >> if you don't we will hurt you. >> market suspect year-to-date. >> bill: so what. you know what it is, it's crazy. is it possible that in september, two months before the election, we can have a surge of great economic news that would help the president get reelected? possible? >> it's certainly possible that things will improve. but we just heard the feds say they are not going to improve much. unemployment will stay near 8%. economic growth. >> bill: this is a bernanke prognostication. do you share that? >> i do. i do believe if you see an uptick in markets. a strong uptick, a change in the, if you will, the climate, more positive, it will be because, in fact, people are getting a sense that governor romney is more likely to win the election. >> bill: i was just going to ask you that. did you just read my mind. >> yes, did i. you have your powers, i have
1:43 am
mine. [ laughter ] >> bill: if the street feels that barack obama, who is much less friendly to capitalism, than governor romney is going to lose, that could reignite the stock market. >> absolutely. >> reignite a little bit more optimism. >> i will go so far, bill to say if there becomes a clearer indication that governor romney is going to win and the high level of confidence that will that will occur by the general climate, by the polls, you will see sharp increases in the stock market indexes, the dow, the s&p,. >> bill: all right. lou dobbs, everybody. there he is the titan. dumbest things on deck. quite a discussion group tonight. carl rove, crosby stills and nash, and surfing dogs. dumb is next.
